Peanut Butter Bear Fur

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

What did the walrus say to the bear?

I don't know, what?

Oh, how did you do that? Practice, practice, practice. Walrus, walrus, walrus. Well said, little sister. Did you know that male walruses can sing for as long as 65 hours? Take that, Bruce Springsteen. Moose Stringbean is born to run through your veggie farm. Moving right along. Cue the choir.

Hulled up.

To play Name That Tune, all you need to do is listen to the melody that I play on my kazoo. Try to guess the song that I'm playing. You ready? Here is the first tune for you to name. That song is about a London bridge is. London Bridge is London Bridges. London Bridge is It's Falling Down. But these more mayonnaise, next song.

Yes, you, you in the back, you with the ruby red slippers. Yeah, you Dorothy. What song was that?

It was by Beethoven, Beethoven. It's called Fur Elise. Not to be confused with Elise's fur, Elise being a brown bear who has beautiful fur that's always getting peanut butter stuck in it, just jumps in a pond and then gets the peanut butter off, and then the fish are like, mm, peanut butter from the bear's fur. Okay, Fur Elise by Beethoven was the answer. Next one.

Okay, I guess it's all of them. ABC, Twinkle Twinkle and Baa Baa Blashee. Okay, let's do one more.

That's right, my dudes, that's Hey Jude by the Beatles. The Beatles. And you are awesome. It's time to move. It's time to move.

Dan Saks (5:03)

What has two wheels? End has a new book out about bicycles? That's right, me.

SPEAKER_2 (5:08)

Pretty sure those are legs.

Dan Saks (5:09)

Anyhow, today's Time to Move is about bikes, and I'm hitting play on it right now. Here's how you play today's Time to Move. When I say, end we're off, I want you to pretend like you are pedaling a bike using your hands. So your hands will be making circles in the air like bicycle pedals do. Try that now to see what I mean. Incredible. Okay, now comes the tricky part. During the song, you will hear a bicycle bell and a bicycle horn. This one, that's the bell, and this one, that's the horn. When you hear this one, I want you to blink your eyes two times. Put a little drum fill at the beginning so you'll hear when it's about to happen. Here, give it a try.

Nice. When you hear this horn, I want you to honk your nose. Give it a little squeeze. Here it is with a trombone sound to let you know that it's about to happen. Okay, give that one a try. Again. Amazing. The thing is, you got to keep your hands pedaling the whole time. Oh, you are going to look so cool doing this game. I know it. Make sure your parents try it too, unless they're actually biking, in which case it's probably better if they don't. Okay. Are you ready to start pedaling? And we're off.

Oh, yeah. The breaks mean you can take a break.

Bonus Round.

Oh, good, we're at the pool.

The other day, I was calmly eating some corn and pondering the meaning of life when I came up with this song. It's an echo song, so all you have to do is sing what I sing. After I sing it, Joni and Shiloh are in there to help you out.

SPEAKER_2 (9:53)

Guided Doodling, Guided Doodling.

Dan Saks (9:58)

Do you have something on which to draw and something with which to draw? All you need to do to play Guided Doodle is listen to my instructions and draw what you hear me describe. And if you don't have anything to draw with at the moment, just use your finger in the air and your great big imagination. What you are drawing is a mystery to you. So let's see if I'm able to put the picture in my head onto your paper.

First, right in the middle of your paper, draw a giant spiral. A spiral is like a circle, but instead of closing it up, it just keeps circling in on itself. Like a cinnamon bun. Now, go to the very bottom of your spiral and draw a long flat line going straight out to the right, like a little sidewalk. As you get to the end of that line, draw a curve going up and then back down and then connect it back to the beginning of that line so it looks like a long sidewalk with a little bumpy hill attached to your cinnamon roll. Now, on top of that bump, the part sticking up, draw two straight lines pointing up and put tiny little circles on top of each of those lines. Go ahead and make a little dot inside each of those circles.
